GREEN BAY -- Grading the Detroit Lions after their 27-20 against the Green Bay Packers.

OFFENSE: C
The Detroit Lions' offense started off strong against Green Bay.

Detroit actually had 117 rushing yards compared to 101 passing yards at halftime. The Lions were winning without a major contribution from Calvin Johnson at that time.

Those were the main highlights.

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford fumbled and threw an interception, while Johnson could not find another receiver to lean on. Running back Joique Bell picked up an unnecessary penalty by joining tight end Tony Scheffler's touchdown celebration. Detroit's time of possession was 37:14 minutes compared to Green Bay's 22:46, which might be the most disappointing statistic for the Lions.

DEFENSE: C
It was not all good, but not all bad.

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley had a sack in the third quarter that knocked Green Bay out of field goal range. One play after Fairley's 7-yard sack on 3rd-and-10 from Detroit's 26-yard line, Packers kicker Mason Crobsy missed a 51-yard field goal.

Green's Bay's offense had a seven-play drive that went 59 yards (all of them running backs) at the beginning of the fourth quarter, capped off by DuJuan Harris' 14-yard touchdown run. Ndamukong Suh picked up an unnecessary personal foul, while Detroit's defense faded in the second half.

SPECIAL TEAMS: C+
Lions kicker Jason Hanson made 2-of-3 field goals, and to his slight defense, his miss was a 51-yarder in bad weather. Considering Crosby has struggled this season in Green Bay, it is hard to rip Hanson's effort, even if the Lions were not close to recovering his onside kick.

Detroit's Nick Harris averaged 28.5 yards on two punts, which does not help his case to re-sign with the Lions next season.

The Lions did not give up a touchdown, but it rarely seems like they will score one, too.

COACHING: F
When a team loses five straight games, is 0-5 in the NFC North, and has regressed, that falls on Detroit's coaching staff.

Sure, Detroit's offense was aggressive in the first half, but that momentum faded in the second half. Coaches have been unable get the most out of their players - or hide their team's weaknesses.

There are no moral victories here.

Detroit is 4-9, and in danger of losing at least two of its final three games, and even if it was a close loss against Green Bay, the Lions were defeated once again.
